What changes in Fleming Island

A Fleming Island tank sits on a lot with water on three sides, and the river's stage moves the water table under the field. A pump out here reads the outlet against the river as much as against the rain, and notes the tank's distance from the bank, because a replacement will be held to today's setback from surface water and that may be further than the old tank sits.

Irrigation from a river-side sprinkler well running over the field is the other finding, and it is said.

How the job runs

What a pump out includes

The tank is located and the lid uncovered. Water level, sludge depth and scum depth are measured before anything is removed, because those numbers set the next service date. The tank is pumped with the sludge broken up at the bottom rather than skimmed. The outlet is watched for backflow while the tank is down, which is the one moment the drain field's condition is visible. The inlet baffle, outlet baffle and partition wall are inspected while the tank is empty. Findings are reported, the next date is set from what was measured, and a riser is offered where the lid was buried.

Straight answers

Septic Tank Pump Out questions from Fleming Island

Does the river affect the septic system?

It moves the water table under the field. The outlet is read with that in mind.

Can the tank stay this close to the water?

Existing tanks usually can. A replacement will be held to the current setback from the bank.
